gettin' ready to watch one o' me late momma's fave films... "the misfits"...
|
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocols.
Great action flick with some unbelievable stunts! If you like action movies, you will like this one! |
One of my faves..
The Big Lebowski...great one when you feel like a good comedy.
|
The Hunger Games - I saw it even after the mixed reviews here and elsewhere. While it's not a perfect film, it's a necessary one. My group was on the edge of their seats and very affected by this dystopic vision.
I highly recommend the film and would catch this on the big screen. The lead actor, Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the character Katness, is definitely one to watch. She was absolutely compelling in this. And here's to a film and book that puts female archer with the ability to convey both compassion and strength as the story's protagonist. http://www.bsckids.com/wp-content/up...na-costume.jpg |

Books are more open to individual interpretation. Films present a director's vision.
It's hard to compare genres - operas based on Shakespearean plays, ballets based on stories, films based on books. For sure, both the book and film Hunger Games are worth exploring. |
The water horse ~ loch ness and the monster has enchanted me from being a youngster.
|
Cabin in the Woods
Truly awesome. |
The Shiek- 1921 (silent)
|
Hunger Games and War Horse
|
|
|
has anyone seen
Pariah.....Dee Rees( I seem to remember her as a film student and producing something for a school project )
Spike Lee co-produces. |
The Descendants with George Clooney. It was ok. One of those misery movies as I like to call them.
|
Cabin in the Woods...wait for Netflix or DVD
|
"The Raven." If you are a fan of Poe OR you like a good suspense thriller that does have some bloody moments but still has a good story line-go see it! I would go back tonight and watch it again!
Edit to add: And, I watched "Charlie St. Cloud" last night. Aside from the fact that Zac Efron has the most beautiful eyes, the movie was really good. But, grab the Kleenix before you settle in! :sparklyheart: |
A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) directed by Elia Kazan. Starring Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter, and Karl Malden. This film shows the slow mental decline of a woman, Blanche, under duress from her brother-in-law, Stanley. I've used this film in my classes dealing with mental illness, women and film. An intense film.

I was like :|
Bad Teacher
I was offended by all the racist ha-ha's in this movie. |

I think this movie was very thought provoking. I think the cast and the acting was awesome. I absolutely loved this movie. More than one scene made me cry, and I nearly had a heart attack during one scene. My body jerked so hard and I made a noise loud enough to make a stranger behind me laugh with me afterward and pat my shoulder comfortingly. I want to read the trilogy now. |
"the tale of despereaux" (loved it!)
"the girl who kicked the hornets nest" (tres good) "code 46" (good sci-fi film, thought provokin' to boot) |
Not a film I've seen but one I want to see. The Making of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, with Helen Mirren as Hitch's wife. :movieguy::bath:
|
Scarlett Johansson was on Leno the other night and raved about what a great Hitchcock Anthony Hopskins was..can't wait to see it too!

Just saw Safe with Jason Stathem. Not sure why I love his movies so much, but I do.
|
The Avengers
|
The Avengers
:) |
Everyone is going to see the Avengers and I think I am too on Sunday!
|
Not Bad
" I Am Number Four"
It was ok, though I preferred numbero Seis.... |
Saw "Chimpanzee" yesterday with Pop. It was seriously good, but not quite the same caliber as "March of the Penguins", which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a nice little escape to the show with a tasty bag of popcorn in tow. :winky::popcorn:
I'm going to give my BFF, Irenie, a call today to see if she wants to see "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" with me today. It's a movie about a bunch of British retirees who decide to "outsource" their retirements to India, because of the lower costs and "exotic" appeal. It promises to be quite funny and I love British humor!!! Also, I just adore Dames Maggie Smith and Judi Dench!!! :awww::popcorn: ~Theo~ :bouquet: |
Finally saw Hunger Games last weekend with The Boy. Want to see The Raven and Dark Shadows soooooon.
|
"everybody's fine" was a good film... though i'm not sho' why it's classed as a comedy.

It started out kind of cheesy, and I thought, oh no...another crappy sequel...but then it ramped up, and it was freaking me out as much as the first one. I recommend watching this right before bedtime...No. Unless your brave like me :) Sometimes, I just enjoy bad movies. They make me laugh. So in the past two days I've watched... http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,317_.jpg and... http://content9.flixster.com/movie/1...852427_det.jpg Michael Shanks' movies are always great for an eye rolling good time...So, I'm in the middle of watching... http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV...0,214,317_.jpg |
Oh...I forgot, I watched this one again the other day...I love the references to Mt.Saint Helen's, and the PNW shots...Last time I watched it, I was living in AZ, it was much more enjoyable this time, because I have been exploring so much of the PNW, including the local volcanoes.

Salmon Fishing on the Yemen. It was a cute story, but didn't enjoy the bad stereotypes and somewhat cheesy script.
Thinking about seeing Bully tonight. :) |
A Dangerous Method
Amazing cast, story line, and historical setting. Keira Knightly's acting is beyond impressive. |
Fireflies in the Garden - Ryan Reynolds, Willem Dafoe, Julia Roberts The inner and ugly workings of an outwardly successful family after the accidental death of its matriarch. Very powerful and well done. Flypaper - Patrick Dempsey and Ashley Judd Two sets of robbers descend on the same bank. Very odd but very funny in a modern keystone cop sort of way. |
I watched The Sitter with ONLY last night. It was twisted and funny. :)
|
I saw Bully today. I've got a lot of thoughts, but none of them are very cohesive at the moment. I was teary through the entire movie.
|
Me too, check out the thread on Bully that Scuba started.
